THE UNTAPPED POTENTIAL OF DECENTRALISED SAFE DRINKING WATER ENTERPRISES

Safe Water Enterprises (SWEs) provide a modular, decentralised approach to delivering safely treated drinking water in the developing world. This site offers access to a report completed in January 2017 by Dalberg Global Development Advisors on the current state of the SWE market. The report analysed 14 SWEs that serve a total of 3 million people and also undertook a global market assessment. Key findings include the potential to serve billions of people and the challenges, which are clearly identified in the study, to be overcome if this potential is to be realised. Both the full report and a summary of the report’s highlights can be downloaded without charge through the links below. The report was supported by Aqua for All, Danone Communities, Conrad N. Hilton Foundation, Osprey Foundation and The Stone Family Foundation.
